Aliona DragutanOctober 17, 2013First time in my life I loved the live music in a restaurant. The singer has an absolutely adorable voice!!!
Masha PMay 16, 2017Authentic place. Food is nothing special, dumplings and okroshka would be good choice
Jacob SivertsenSeptember 5, 2019Ask for a table in the back. Its its much cosier than the tables close to the street.
Silvina FurnadzhievaOctober 17, 2013Great interior, great service. I recommend the lamb chops and Greek salad.
You should definitely try eclairs here. They are incredible!
Mert HoloğluApril 14, 2019Food is okay, but the service is terrible. The waitress came and couldn’t explain what we paid on bill. We said ‘’ Can we pay separately’’ and waitress starting to laugh. We were so regretful to come.- The best green borsch on the planet. And meat varenniki too. By miles my favourite restaurant in Kiev
Sergey MostovoyAugust 21, 2018I don’t know why this place is rated so high. Every time I leave it I think pretty much any other ukrainian restaurant is better
Arthur MubarakshynJune 22, 2015It's a good place for good company that're not in a hurry, but it's bad for lunches... They serve them really long. :(
Peter SaintSeptember 16, 2018Great place to taste Ukrainian food which is really good. However, our waiter was not polite at all! He made it clear to us that the tip was not included in the bill! Incredible!
Okroshka s kvasom is great in the summer. Zal Biblioteka is the coldest one.
